The resident, who has complained to Hillingdon Council, accepts that the contents of the bag did not meet the criteria for recycling, but believes it should not have been left on his property, and instead placed back where it came from.

He added: "Hillingdon Council has logged this as an operational incident and promised to investigate.

"But the fact is that they've not even bothered to download the video in more than seven days since I emailed it to them. This is very poor on the part of the council."

But the council say it is "proud" of its waste service, which continues to offer weekly household waste and recycling collection, free weekly garden waste collection, and free door step textile collections.

A spokesperson said: "We always endeavour to put residents first and we encourage anyone who has issues with a collection to let us know.

"All incidents are investigated by our dedicated waste and recycling team who are also looking into the complaint reported in Ruislip."
